What this book is about
When Will's sister dies, he and his wife Sadie move to the remote Maine island where she lived, taking in their orphaned niece. A neighbor is soon found murdered. The investigation points toward Sadie—who is having blackouts, is new to the island, and can't remember what she does at night. The Other Mrs. is a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator and a twist that rewrites the preceding story.
